I listened. A lot.
I learned. A lot.
I watched. A lot.
I interacted. A lot.
I can’t tell you how highly I would recommend this conference
to anyone who desires or is currently writing and/or speaking in a ministry
setting. “Speak Up” is a wonderful opportunity to learn, be challenged, be
encouraged, equipped and spend time with other women (and a few men!) who love
the Lord and ministering to others.
As I listened, learned, watched and interacted…I was struck,
again, by the truth in Ephesians 2:10, “For we are His workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk
in them.” The corporate plural “we” are simply individual “you’s” in the
singular workmanship. We are not many workmanship(s). We are just one.
Looking over the woman
at “Speak Up”, I was in awe of the fact that we are all individual parts of the
one workmanship of the Lord…one masterpiece, one Bride, one Building, one Body.
One. Each individually walking out our
part with good works that God has called us to do. Everyone in that room was
born in this particular time and history of the Church, of the masterpiece. We need each other. We need each part. So yes…we really need each part, to be their
part, and to “Speak Up!”
